The Rest of the Journey
Hello everyone and welcome to my SparkPage.
I found this program at age 58 (about 3 years before retirement), 38 pounds overweight, reasonably out of shape, and pretty disgusted with my body, my lack of will power, my energy level, and my feeble atempts to hide my buldges in any but the baggiest of clothes.
What a difference this program has made! Oh...I'm not there yet, but I WILL BE!!

Hello everyone and welcome to my SparkPage.
I found this program at age 58 (about 3 years before retirement), 38 pounds overweight, reasonably out of shape, and pretty disgusted with my body, my lack of will power, my energy level, and my feeble atempts to hide my buldges in any but the baggiest of clothes.
What a difference this program has made! Oh...I'm not there yet, but I WILL BE!!
OK about me - other than my weight. I have finally retired although I still occasionally interpret for Deaf folks - when I have the time. I live in the mountains in NM (there is a winter picture of my house in my gallery).
No kids of my own, so I enjoy spoiling the youngins of my family, friends, co-workers, aquaintences, people I meet in restaurants...well, you get the idea.
I am definitely keeping busy in retiement! In addition to Spark, I am making part of my land into a Wildlife Habitat/Sanctuary. I have a good start with the feeding program. I have 6 hummingbird feeders which I have to fill several times a day (hungry little buggers - I've already gone through 100 lbs of sugar this summer). I also have 7 bird , 4 squirrel/chipmunk, and 3 rabbit feeders. That is something that will get you out of bed in the morning. The hummingbirds are there at dawn, and if one of the feeders is empty, they GLARE at me through the window.
The next step - starting now - is to build habitats - brush and wood piles, bird houses, and other shelters for the winter - and a shed for all the materials and feed. I can't tell you how much fun I'm having and how much exercise I'm getting!
